The Mind's Eye

Today i woke
 Hidden from the sun
 I heard a young man speaking,
 Magic on his tongue
 Bound at the feet
 Taken by the wrist
 He reaches out to me, a diamond in his fist
 I hear my name
 Repeating like a prayer
 Within the chambers of the early morning air
 You speak of love
 So innocent and clear
 Invent an emptiness where i can disappear
 And time goes away
 Where no one can see
 But in the mind's eye
 The summer never ends
 The days go on and on
 Until you sleep again
 The strangers kissed
 The lovers could not part
 They could not see the ending
 Coming from the start
 There were no signs
 No changes in the air
 If there were better times, i can't imagine where
 But in the mind's eye
 The summer never ends
 The days go on and on
 Until you sleep again
 And time goes away
 Where no one can see
 Today i woke
 His name upon my tongue
 I saw the birds above me leaving one by one
 A promise held too tightly
 Always comes apart
 Within the verses and reverses of the heart
 But in the mind's eye
 The summer never ends
 The days go on and on
 Until you sleep again
 And time goes away
